If the non-tender rumors were true, they were willing to let him walk away for nothing in return, so I&#39;m happy they could get something.<br /><br />Of course I&#39;d LIKE a decent player in return (and Tony Lastoria is guessing Willy Aybar, which would certainly fill the Utility need on the 25-man), but I&#39;m not going to lose sleep over the identity of the PTBNL.<br /><br />The Indians are shedding payroll with Shoppach like they did with Garko, in that neither would merit their paychecks in 2010 and weren&#39;t going to be vital pieces in 2011; so flipping them for anything was preferable to holding on to them and paying them or simply non-tendering them and having them walk away for nothing.Paul Cousineauhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-80577886227664806372009-12-02T01:02:20.469-05:002009-12-02T01:02:20.469-05:00Tampa Bay, a team one year removed from the World ...Tampa Bay, a team one year removed from the World Series and with ambitions of contending in 2010, just traded for someone who is likely to be their starting catcher, and you don&#39;t think it&#39;s important that the Indians acquire a decent player in return? Thinking like this is what gave us 65-97, to be frank about it.Hydehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03984348525069741897noreply@blogger.com
